[DUG] Automated builds

[Conor Boyd]

Currently using a rather large and convoluted series of batch files
which tag and then extract source from Subversion, build numerous Delphi
projects, build translated resource DLLs, and then package everything
into an Installshield Installer.

However, one of the teams over the cube wall has just starting using
CruiseControl to do Continuous Integration builds of their (Visual
Studio) projects.

I'm interested in this because they're using MSBuild to do the building,
and my vague understanding is that Delphi 2007 is MSBuild compatible (?)
and I'm wondering if I can migrate (realistically rewrite) my batch
files towards an MSBuild solution.

Dunno anything more about how that's going to turn out at this stage,
but I think it's worth investigating.

I use a dedicated WinXP VPC running on a Virtual Server to actually do
my builds, which is nice and easy to access both from my office PC, and
from home over our corporate VPN if I'm running an overnight build.

Cheers,

C.

What are people using to do automated builds?
